Just read through thread, nice adventure following @Stinky . Same age (born 72), keep on keepin on, Hapi hunting for the keeper pineapple! cheers
Hapi
That’s fast! What strain is that?
Romulan ‘BX1’, my keeper pheno. I had another pheno of that strain but that one didn’t root in 2 weeks so I let that one go.
I’m so cool, I can stink so much, I can stink, more than you! Stink stank stunk.
Great lyrics!
Nice! What else do you keep in your stable?
Well, to be honest, I had a couple more strains as moms: zkittles, cinnabom, gello and my high cbd plant. But during my holiday in France my son (17 years old) who was supposed to take care of them screwed up
He did a good job with my outdoor plants but forgot to water my moms the last week. So when I came back they were all wilted and full of spider mites. I tried to recover them but only the Romulan made it. It sounds like I’m a fanboy but that Romulan sure wants to live!
Harvest day today. I always feel like I have to thank the plant when cutting its stem…
Next up, seed increase of white pineapple auto for next year’s outdoor season.
Finished trimming my latest batch. This grow was completely organic with amended recycled soil using buffer tabs and FPE. The smell has changed quite a bit compared to my last grow which was organic soil grown with liquid mineral fertiliser. It has a lot stronger chem/rubber smell and less pine/lemon than the previous batch. Funny what environment can do to terps.
Here’s a little update on my grows.
I selected 2 females and 1 male of the white pineapple auto that I wanted to do a seed increase with. Unfortunately the male I selected turned out to be sterile?! The flowers didn’t ripen completely and they seemed to not contain any pollen. Don’t know what went wrong there. The females smell yummy, bubblegum and sweet tropical fruit. No seeds though
Then here we have clones of Karma’s Di Frutti, Runtz, Bluntz and Ice Cream Cake. Got to take some clones of the ICC and Runtz before I put them in my new flower tent.
And finally a new little project. I crossed hybrid from hell’s Guerilla Gold with @Urban_Legends Critical Kush Auto a year ago and spread the seeds around in my friends outdoor gardens. They had very good results! Big semi-auto flowering plants with compact big stinky buds. Now I’m going to F2 them and see what comes out of that next outdoor season.
I started with 60 beans. Nearly all sprouted within 24 hours. I selected 48, today I brought the number down to 18 which I up potted.
Those are some great looking plants there @Stinky
Thank you @G-paS! I’m using a light mix for seedlings and clones now. They’re taking of a lot better then in the seedling and clone mix I used previously. However, they’re depleting the nutrients quickly.
Yesterday I cooked some sardines, deep frying, little salt. Little experiment with the remains. I added some LAB and molasses to the heads and other remains. Some rain water. I’ll let it cook and will use it for next outdoor run. Anyone ever made their own fish mix? Got a good recipe and growing experience with the result?
If I put anything like that in my soil mix, the animals like raccoons would have a field day with them. There wouldn’t be one plant not dug up.
Ouch… Luckily we don’t have racoons in our surroundings! Would they even be interested in completely fermented fish remains? I mean, if you bought and used some bottled fish mix would they also dig up the plants?
Yeah I can’t put anything like that, if it even has an odor of fish and even blood meal, it would be trouble. I stick to our compost and whatever store bought soil I can get. Usually ffof or happy frog, my home and farm store carries a little variety.
